G. Legal Shot.
- On all shots, the player must:
- Cause the Cue Ball's initial contact
with a ball to be with a ball On,
AND THEN
- Pot a ball On OR Cause the Cue Ball or
any Object Ball to contact a cushion.
- Failure to play a Legal Shot is a Standard
Foul.
- Exceptions:
- On the Break, the conditions of a Legal
Shot do not apply. (see (F) The Break)
- When playing out of a Total Snooker a
player is only obliged to meet the conditions of (1)(a) above. (see (Q)
Total Snookers).
- Interpretations:
- If the Cue Ball's initial contact is
with an Object Ball that is touching a cushion, simply forcing that Object
Ball into the same cushion does not constitute a Legal Shot.
- If the Cue Ball and the Object Ball are
touching the same cushion, simply forcing the Cue Ball and / or that
Object Ball into the same cushion does not constitute a Legal Shot.
